How many electrons are in the outermost principal energy level of an atom of carbon in the ground state

Chemistry
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

four electrons

Explanation:

Let us attempt to write the electronic configuration of carbon in the ground state. This electronic configuration will now be;

C- 1s2 2s2 2p2

The outermost principal energy level of carbon is the n=2 level which houses the 2s2 and 2p2, making a total of four electrons in the outermost principal energy level of an atom of carbon in the ground state.

A reaction of 41.9 g of Na and 30.3 g of Br2 yields 36.4 g of NaBr . What is the percent yield?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: The percent yield is, 93.4%

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the moles of Na.

\text{Moles of Na}=\frac{\text{Mass of Na}}{\text{Molar mass of Na}}=\frac{41.9g}{23g/mole}=1.82moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Br_2

{\text{Moles of}Br_2} = \frac{\text{Mass of }Br_2 }{\text{Molar mass of} Br_2} =\frac{30.3g}{160g/mole}=0.189moles

{\text{Moles of } NaBr} = \frac{\text{Mass of } NaBr }{\text{Molar mass of } NaBr} =\frac{36.4g}{103g/mole}=0.353moles

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Na(s)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaBr

As, 1 mole of bromine react with = 2 moles of Sodium

So, 0.189 moles of bromine react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.189=0.378 moles of Sodium

Thus bromine is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Na is the excess reagent.

As, 1 mole of bromine give = 2 moles of Sodium bromide

So, 0.189 moles of bromine give = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.189=0.378 moles of Sodium bromide

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of reaction

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{0.353 mol}{0.378}\times 100=93.4\%

Therefore, the percent yield is, 93.4%

Consider the following system at equilibrium:D(aq)+E(aq)<=>F(aq)Classify each of the following actions by whether it cause
igomit [66]

Explanation:

D(aq) + E(aq) <=> F(aq)

This question is based on Le Chatelier's principle.

Le Chatelier's principle is an observation about chemical equilibria of reactions. It states that changes in the temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order to achieve a new equilibrium state.

Increase D

D is a reactant. if we add reactants to the system, equilibrium will be shifted to the right to in order to maintain equilibrium by producing more products.

Increase E

E is a reactant. if we add reactants to the system, equilibrium will be shifted to the right to in order to maintain equilibrium by producing more products.

Increase F

F is a product.  If we add additional product to a system, the equilibrium will shift to the left, in order to produce more reactants. The reaction would shift to the left.

Decrease D

if we remove reactants from the system, equilibrium will  be shifted to the left.

Decrease E

if we remove reactants from the system, equilibrium will  be shifted to the left.

Decrease F

if we remove products from the system, equilibrium will be shifted to the right to in order to maintain equilibrium by producing more products.

Triple D and reduce E to one third

no shift in the direction of the net reaction, Both changes cancels each other.

Triple both E and F

no shift in the direction of the net reaction, Both changes cancels each other.

DNA has 2 strands. if the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use the information to determine th
ANTONII [103]
DNA has four main components.
Adenine=A
Cytosine=C
Guanine=G
Thymine=T

Since each letter has an opposite it would be possible by considering the pairs.
A:T
C:G

So, if one strand went as so:
AGCCTAGGTAC
The corresponding strand would be mirrored with the match: TCGGATCCTG
